Skyrim Beta Update v 1.4.26 Available on Steam

Bethesda announced they’ve released a new Beta Update (1.4.26) featuring requested tweaks for the Skyrim Workshop.

Reminder: This patch is still in development. Apply the update at your own risk and only if you are affected by issues outlines below (also, a link to the beta forums is at the end to report problems).

UPDATE 1.4.26

LAUNCHER

Fixed issue with downloading mods when you are subscribed to more than 50 mods

Fixed crash when loading a subscribed mod that has been removed from Workshop by the author

Mod load order functionality

BUG FIXES (PC only)

Fixed occasional crashes when loading a save that relies on plugins/master files that no longer exist

Fixed issue where controls would become unresponsive while charging an enchanted weapon

Fixed issue where controls would occasionally become unresponsive while switching from third to first person while using the Arcane Enchanter

Fixed issue where controls would become unresponsive if activating a crafting station with autorun active

Fixed issue where keyboard would fail if Rename Item was selected before choosing the number of charges, while using Arcane Enchanter

Fixed several issues with remapping buttons while using an Xbox 360 controller

Fixed issue where pressing Escape button after fast traveling but before the loading would cause certain menus to stop working properly

If you opt into the Beta, be sure to back up your saved games or simply be careful not to overwrite your existing saves. If you decide to opt out of the beta program, your old saves will still work with the current release of Skyrim (v 1.4).

As a reminder, to get the beta, you need to do the following:

Log into Steam

Click on Steam in the upper menu

Select Settings

Under the Account tab, go to the Beta Participation section and select Change.

A drop down menu will appear. Select Skyrim Beta.

Select OK.

Steam will now restart. After Steam restarts, Skyrim will be updated to the Beta version currently available.

If you decide you don’t want to run the Beta anymore, redo steps 1 – 4. At the drop down, select NONE – Opt out of all beta programs. Let Steam restart, and Skyrim will automatically update itself back to the latest released version.
